remote access

At one time or another we have needed remote access to a pc or server to do something productive to either save time or avoid driving to the location. One of my favorites is www.logmein.com. Their free service is fantasic. The only drawback I find is printing, which is overcome by emailing the document to myself. The other is file sharing. There are many ways for an IT person to overcome this, and a "know just enough to be dangerous" user could find a way to move that file from one pc to another. - will update post when I have more time, and will include a great link to share your desktop securely, for free with anyone you wish without installing anything but a small browser plug-in.
